² Your ^(A)tongue plots destruction,
    like ^(B)a sharp razor, you ^(C)worker of deceit.

¹⁹ But I was ^(A)like a gentle lamb
    led to the slaughter.
I did not know ^(B)it was against me
    they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
    ^(C)let us cut him off from ^(D)the land of the living,
    that his name be remembered no more.”

2 ^(A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
    and work evil ^(B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in the power of their hand.
² They covet fields and ^(C)seize them,
    and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
    a man and his inheritance.
³ Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against ^(D)this family I am devising disaster,^[a]
    from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you ^(E)shall not walk haughtily,
    ^(F)for it will be a time of disaster.

³ who ^(A)whet their tongues like swords,
    who ^(B)aim bitter words like arrows,

¹¹ Though they plan evil against you,
    though they ^(A)devise mischief, they will not succeed.
